I just honestly cannot understand a on-line game that people go to interact with each other would promote boating that most people do alone out in the middle of no-where. And then we get charged for the privlage of doing so. And yes I too bought the upgrade ONLY for the ability to do lvl 7 maps... and THAT was a complete let down. DONT EVEN get me started on people and fishing for EVERY variaty of this or that. (did you use this bait, oh wait, did you go over there, oh my ive spented 200 logged in hours fishing for the elusive Uber goober, I payed sooo much money for this boat and now im afraid of using it, and on and on and on)... LIFE PEOPLE!

Downsize... Merge the worlds via Moongates... Set dates for people to move there poop and destroy the shard. Make Moongates that people enter stripped naked and can jump from a oldschool Server with no changes made to a New and updated version to barneyland to PvP ruleset to PvM ruleset, and so on.

The person just runs to their house or bank on that server, suits up as allowed, and goes and plays on that ruleset. When their sick of that they just strip down, run to the moongate, and choose whatever ruleset they want. Each one only accessable via naked player, taking only skills and stats.
Everyone is then together happily.

Group 5 or 6 shards based on time zones and RL local.

I have about every mule skill in the game, just PM and ill make you whatever you need. TY

*takes the bottle of whiskey away from guardian*

sir....i believe you've had enough for one night

but yeah, to the top post, the cannon vendors really need to stock EVERYTHING you need to fire the cannons, most of them when i would check them had nothing but cannonballs, ramrods, and swabs, the easy stuff to make....and none of the harder stuff to make you need to actually fire the cannons.

Stratics VeteranStratics Legend

Lady Mami in N/E of Zento has some in stock on her Cannon vendor. Just checked.

Click to expand...

Aye that vendor usually carries all of it all of the time, when not sold out.
*or out of saltpeter to restock*

CZ had most of it all too in NewMag. when not sold out as well.
I too carried most of it all *cept the actual cannons* when not sold out, there were matches, fuse cords, lt. and heavy pwd. charges..when not sold out. Atm those are sold at my Ocllo house *when I too have the saltpeter to make the good stuff [in enough numbers] to even count as being USEFUL, for anyone to even bother buyin or for anyone to bother even making, when they short of saltpeter it isn't gonna happen period, for anyone.

The issue is or may be, folks' saltpeter stocks, not neccessarily their desires to keep em restocked, they would like to DO so, when they get time to either mine up uber amts of saltpeter or buy it from Tandy down at the dock when she bothers to restock it herself in some timely manner.

Takes a lot black powder to make nearly everthing worth while to FIRE those cannons. With not enough saltpeter to make the black pwd. to make the good stuff, to continually restock like anyone would wish folks to restock, you will find stuff for firing cannons, lacking till whomever it is gets/acquires MORE saltpeter to make more black powder to make the good stuff yall need !!

Rinse Repeat !

*Don't get Me started nothing about high seas ticks me off MORE than how the dev. team about suffocated sea to sea combat with the dorky ways and means to get ENOUGH salt peter to permit everyone to ship combat on every shard they play on in a manner that don't require endlessly hunting down a few matches, heavy pwd. charges and so forth cuz of LACK of saltpeter to make tons of black powder to enable everyone to FIGHT ship to ship like they/we all had HOPED TO DO ! And ya need either the chrs. or the soulstones cuz ya gonna need alchemist, carpenter, blacksmith, tinker, tailor to make said matches fusecords, heavy pwd charges, black pwd. potash, oh and cooking ye boards to make charcoal, and so forth too plus lotsa saltpeter.

They gave us a wonderful HS outlet and suffocated the ways and means for us to really achieve it, to it's fullest potential !

Personally I woulda liked nothing better than to be able to offer to sell MORE than a few 10s of heavy pwd charges, 10 or so fuse cords and matches at a time !!!!! Then have to go fetch MORE saltpeter rinse repeat rinse repeat. 1k of salt peter even does not even net enough of it, to DO what one would WISH to provide for anyone anytime ie provide enough sTUff per players, to enable em all to ship to ship fight properly !

On that point they require more player too player interaction. Never thought of that. Guess Queen all ya need is a bigger circle of boating crafters (points towards GIL).

Yeh well atm there are a few supplies on my Ocllo house HS.Vendor atm.

The one pair of STILL remaining ie unbanked up yet house teleporter tiles going from my N. Zento wall house to my Ocllo house [till I bank em all up too], will still work.

But yeh got like 34 saltpeter left to my name, atm.

And 34 left, well that won't make diddly past what I already had put on my Ocllo vendor,
few heavy pwd charges, few matches, few fuse cords and when those are gone...till I DO get more saltpeter by the 1k lots, even I won't be able to restock any of that.

ATM with all the fubar of acct. management migration atm still, I may be /and AM.. clearing out my houses to bank up most of my few 'oldest' vet rewards and cutting down on all my houses big time, across my accts. till I see how this all functions when and by the time, I AM due to reup my billings.

For now, bankin what one can..per houses/ per accts. all across the board while I CAN still log in ! I had like 2 pairs of house teleporter vet tiles sets per shard and thinking to bank them up period, till this situation is settled with acct. migration cuz we never know when we may become cut off, from loggin in if it dont work right for us to *migrate* etc. I have not even tried it yet cuz atm I am not due to be rebilled just yet, so in theory I should be able to continue to log in for a few weeks yet, per acct. (in theory).

Click to expand...

Ima not even sure I could slip a bottle of whiskey into ol Raptor's back pocket, some of his accts. are fubared to where he can't log in on em, thanks to the new migration mess that has so many customers accts. in some...wherever they are lost in the ether of migration situation.

poor fellow he may not even be able to KILL me or nothing till it gets fixed for some of hims.
